When box64 tries starting ./shootergame
I am using 4k page files so I know that's not the issue
For context I am trying to host an ark server on moonlight panel with an egg that uses box64 to run ./shootergame
However it seems the server crashes upon launch
Here is the info about my box64

I'm also seeing signal 11, using Box64 v0.3.6. The first few lines of output:

Run with BOX64_SHOWSEGV=1 and also BOX64_SHOWBT=1 to have more details on the segfault (the trace on the SIGABRT is not interesting, it's too late).
Thanks, trying repro:
[BOX64] BOX64ENV: Variables overridden:
BOX64_SHOWBT=1
BOX64_SHOWSEGV=1
(takes about 10 minutes if not longer despite having the 100k files limit override being applied, that might just be the Ark server though).
Don't worry you can close this, it was due to me accidentally allocating 0.04 of a core instead of 4 cores

Ok, but @code-monet seems to have an issue to?
I ran the server overnight and had the SIGSEV. On this attempt, it hasn't crashed yet, and is presumably serving on the ports (I can't join, not sure if it's fully started up yet. Still using a lot of CPU and not as much RAM as expected). It might need a bit longer to hit the issue.

./launch_ark_server.sh: line 1: 4223 Aborted
Inspired by #819 I compiled and ran with v0.2.6. The server started up much faster and is able to serve (for the time being). There was just one warning:
Warning: Global Symbol _ZN9__gnu_cxx21zoneinfo_dir_overrideEv not found, cannot apply R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT @0x7fff0324e268 ((nil)) in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
which seems to have been resolved in recent versions.
Not sure how long the server will run, but it does seem that there has been a regression between 0.2.6 and 0.3.6.
I should mention that I wasn't actually able to connect to the server hosted as described in my last post - the error is presumably seen for "version mismatch, or ports not open" (Ark server doesn't really give good error messages), but I verified that the ports were open using a separate app, and the client-server versions are correct. I suspect that version of Box might be too old for the latest server. It would also crash after a few hours. Point being, it's probably not worth trying to run the server using v0.2.6 today.
I'm happy to retry using a newer release at a later time.
EDIT: I tried at commit 5d2a99307e9969f3d47eaa2efedfa21fbb08ed34 on my Oracle Ampere instance, and the server doesn't crash anymore. So this specific regression can likely be considered fixed. However I still cannot actually connect to the server, getting "unable to query server info for invite" if joining via Steam servers UI or "Lost/Timeout connection to host" if connecting using open from the game console. I have run out of things to try fix that particular issue (don't know if it's my configuration, system libraries or Box64 not playing well with this version of the Ark server), but the crashing issue can be considered fixed on the Box side.
@code-monet Thanks for confirming! I create a new GitHub issue to track the connection issues here: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/issues/2834
